This paper describes the work-in-progress of a VRML 3D conetree to visualize Ph.D. graduates and their Ph.D. thesis advisors in the field of computer graphics. As part of the SIGGRAPH history project chaired by Carl Machover, this VRML 3D conetree debuts publicly at the 25th conference celebration at SIGGRAPH 98, July 1998, in Orlando, FL. This conetree allows a VRML-enabled browser to visualize Ph.D. contributors to the field of computer graphics and to trace their influences and academic progeny. The database developed may seed further studies of the field's contributors. The initial phase of this project (using Ph.D advisors/graduates) provides a hierarchical (if arbitrary) view of part of SIGGRAPH's academic structure.
